Tammy's Journal
Connect with Winter’s Solar Energy and Shine
After the Earth’s yearly mid-winter dip into darkness, we can feel the power of the sun’s return in the energetic lift it brings us as the light rushes back in. The sun is our beautiful life source, both magical and real. As the days get longer, we have the chance to forge a deeper connection […]
The Power of Gratitude
The power of gratitude is so strong that teams of scientists are working hard to document its effects. New studies have shown that practicing gratitude every day lessens anxiety and depression and improves the quality of our sleep, demonstrating that grateful people sleep longer and deeper, and wake up feeling more refreshed. Not only do those who practice thankfulness feel happier and less lonely, researchers at the University of California have also found that practicing gratitude can strengthen the immune system and lower blood pressure. Just two months of keeping a gratitude journal, where study participants simply listed five things they were thankful for each week, brought measurable improvements. It does wonders for your health, well-being and—yes, even for your skin! […]
Tammy’s Effective Anti-Aging Solution
One of the number one questions my clients ask me is “How can I best treat aging skin?” This is so vital. The formation of wrinkles follows the patterns of our habitual expressions, and negative thoughts and emotions can play a significant role in the appearance of the skin. If we’re feeling stressed, frown lines get […]
A Back to School Boost with Pure Living Energy
As the kids head back to school, I’ve begun dreaming up new ways to bring more of the earth’s living energies into their world. Anyone who follows this blog knows I love juicing. My teenaged son, however, does not—that is until recently. A few weeks ago I visited New York’s Gobo and had the good fortune to […]
Celebrate Fall’s Abundance
It’s harvest time, just on the cusp between summer and autumn, when we can enjoy all the beautiful abundance of the season, and when the vitalizing life force in many plants reaches its peak potency. You can taste it in the bounty of fresh living foods—from the last tomatoes to the newly picked apples and […]

Honoring our Living Source, the EARTH
“Earth Day” has only been around a short time (first celebrated in 1970) but has quickly given rise to the opportunity for increased awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s immeasurable value to our existence. We cannot live without her and her life-giving and sustaining ways of nurturing all beings. We use “Earth Day” as a […]
The Power of Ingredients
“What goes in” has always been my curious (and passionate!) approach to life…..what goes in to that amazing salad dressing I love, what goes in to the sunscreen I put on my children, what goes in to the beef & chicken that ends up on our plates, what goes in to our minds and hearts […]

A Mantra Worth Repeating: “Dolce far Niente”
As a mother of three, I have been know to keep odd hours. Laundry at midnight – check. E-mails at 3am – check. Having an “ah-ha” moment with the rising of the sun – check! I turned on the television around 6am this morning to create some soothing background noise for my almost-asleep-but-not quite baby Savanna to stumble across one of […]
